O Gauge Live Steam : Crewchester Sept 2023
Ғылым және технология
Something to brighten up these dark evening with a reminder of warmer weather an live steam outside. In a pleasant day we ran on Crewchester for the second time in 2023. Of note was
William getting to grips with his coal fired Mikado,
A J27 running through the new high level avoiding line of Abbottsdene,
King Arthur running through Crewchester at record speed ( the crew had not been informed of the change of route!).
Thanks to Graham and William for use of their video clips.
Looking forward to more steaming in 2024

That looks and sounds so nice. I love my o gauge. Haven't used my vintage steam locos yet though. My layout won't do them justice.
I would love to have 0 gauge live steam on my railway. I will be running my collection of Hornby live steam on the 00 gauge section of my garden railway. Thanks for subscribing to my channel.

BTW we will be running O gauge live steam at the Gauge O Guild show in Kettering next weekend.
Great stuff.... awesome layout... Great locos and rolling stock... 👍🙂🇳🇿✅
Bloody marvellous stuff.
The guard's tea jug must have gone flying across the van round the curves at that speed. Nice sounds, nice rolling stock.
Excellent! 👍👍
Thank you 👍

You are welcome
Must be so hard to maintain.
Hey, how much water is in the boiler and tender, and how long can you run on it?

The capacity really depends on the prototype. My LNER Q6 (NETTA) boiler has a 90ml capacity but I usually start with 50ml. The axel pump will raise the water level during the run. The tender is mainly water with a meths tank holding 65ml. The run is governed by the amount of meths at about 30 mins - by which time the lubricator needs topping up again. As you see from my videos, we also top up the water in the tender on the go.
